Mexican party catering in Roughdown, served fresh

A country party near Roughdown is a good fit for street food: served fresh from the hatch in a garden or field. Plan a gazebo for guests in case of rain. We serve from the hatch of our food truck or trailer, or from a serving station, and we plan service so the queue keeps moving.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Plan somewhere for guests to sit and eat
- Measure your gate or driveway
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Plan where rubbish goes
We arrive before your guests to set up.

Can I do a taco night myself?
A DIY taco night is possible for a crowd, but it is more work than it looks. Fillings need slow cooking, tortillas need warming as you go, and salsas need making. Read our guide to taco bars.
Not sure whether to do it yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Contact us for a quote to compare.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised team. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, get the serving area ready, and get on with serving. A summer party in Roughdown stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Questions from Roughdown
We are having a ceremony at The Good Shepherd: can you cater afterwards?
Yes. The church itself is not where we’d set up, but a hall, field or garden close by with room for the truck or trailer can work well. Let us know the reception address and we’ll check the access.
Do you cater at coastal events near Roughdown?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.
When do you arrive?
It depends on your event. Timings are agreed in advance so everything fits your schedule.
Can you park at my house?
That depends on the way in and the ground. Tell us about gates, slopes and soft lawns, and we will confirm.
Do you provide allergen information for each dish?
Yes. Tell us about allergies when you book. Under UK rules, caterers must give information on 14 allergens, and we give it for every dish (Food Standards Agency guidance). For severe allergies, please talk to us first.
Do we need to provide plates?
Let us know what you’d like and we will include the options in your quote.
